If you commit suicide would your company/employer know?

[InTheAirTonight]

23M here and and work in technology for a mid sized company. I want to CTB for purely personal reasons, nothing related to work. I know my employer would get notified of my death. But would they know it was a suicide? Do police release this information? I do not want my co-workers to know I ctb.

If your suicide makes the papers, then I think they will find out. I don't think there's a high chance of that with all of the coverage on COVID.

It depends on a lot of factors whether they find out if you CTB. Many employers have emergency contact lists for employees where I live (USA). If they contact your emergency contact and they explain that you CTB, they'll know.

If I didn't show up for work after a CTB, I think they would eventually call my emergency contact or the police for a wellness check, eventually.

Can't decide has it...
And you could show every sign of any method they would sweep under the carpet to use you as a statistic for covid.
Personally it would get to my colleagues because it's construction I will be the banter of the day.

I would be fine with being labeled a covid statistic. Would actually prefer it

Each to their own. I want my suicide to go down as suicide so that this sick society wakes up and realizes it's about time euthanasia for anyone was accepted as long as it's not just people going off a spur of the moment, bad day etc.
Rather than us having to risk paralysis, life support and the other bundle of joys we worry about. Not to mention the gore for the people scooping up our entrails or wiping the urine and faeces up so your coffin ready.
